Bryce wrote, ⁣⁣⁣⁣”Rest In Peace, William Hurt. Your undeniable presence on screen broke the mold a thousand times over and I am so grateful to have spent the time that we did together filming The Village — and even after filming was done for you but you stayed with me at Sweetwater Farm anyways to make sure I wasn’t alone.⁣⁣ That’s the kind of person Bill was. Someone who gave everything and went out of his way to support me and others.”
